Pros

Great inventory in the market

Cons

Incompetent management, no leadership, no training. I would ask management in different scenarios what they would do in certain situations and they would literally say “Go back, think about it and come up with a plan,” They would never go with me cold calling or help me put campaigns together which was setting me up for failure. Literally 5 or 6 newer reps left the company in the past year. Heavy micromanagement. , Three + commission cuts in a year, company billions in debt. Also come to find out that Clear Channel pays the least amount of commission of any of their competitors.

Pros

Clear Channel Outdoor’s portfolio is genuinely impressive, and being part of one of the top three brands in out‑of‑home gives the role real weight. The job is especially rewarding when you’re helping SMB clients grow their visibility and watching their businesses evolve, while also supporting major brands in staying consistent and on‑message across markets. The product itself is strong, and when you’re in front of clients, you feel the value of what you’re selling.

Cons

Compensation for account executives could be more competitive, especially given the expectations and revenue responsibilities of the role. Improving base pay and commission structures would go a long way toward reducing the high turnover seen in many markets. Additionally, corporate tends to centralize decision‑making, which can limit local leadership’s ability to scale business based on the realities of their specific markets. Giving local teams more autonomy would create a better employee experience and ultimately drive stronger revenue performance.
